Board

Jeff Berk
Retired Attorney

Jeff is excited to return to the CPI Board. He and his wife Beth raised their three (now young adult) daughters in Santa Rosa. Jeff worked for 30 years as an attorney for the County of Sonoma and City of Santa Rosa. He now works part-time as general counsel for the Mendocino County Employees’ Retirement Association and as an Arbitrator. He also volunteers for Meals on Wheels and gives free legal advice monthly at the downtown Santa Rosa public library through the Lawyers in the Library Program.

Gary Lucas
Business Owner

Gary Lucas initially joined the CPI Board over 10 years ago because he believed in the importance of the organization’s mission: to end child abuse and strengthen the health of children, parents, and families. Gary’s lived experience of growing up in a broken home with a physically abusive parent resulted in a childhood full of violence. Looking back, Gary believes that if CPI been available for him and his family his childhood may have been much different.

Gary was born in Santa Rosa and at the age of 17 he joined the Navy. Gary’s 4 years in the Navy brought him to see active duty in Vietnam and Japan where he helped deliver supplies to South Vietnam.

After his time in the Navy, Gary started his own business selling waterbeds, and then eventually took a job in the telecommunications industry. Gary has also been an active member in the Santa Rosa East West Rotary since 2001.

Serving on the CPI board has provided Gary with a way to contribute to the work of reducing violence in the home and ultimately in our society.
